Advice sought on tackle choice

#1 Post by cmac »

So I could really do with some opinions on the following rod/reel setup please.
The brief is for some shore fishing from the Co. Clare coast but I'll be sticking mainly to beaches and piers for the time being due to the age profile of the fishing crew :)
Budget is unfortunately tight and I appreciate that I'll need a tripod of some sort and probably a tackle box as seat/storage.
Which of the following combos do you think would work best:

1. Shimano Alivio Aerlex Surfcasting Combo
or
2. A 13ft Sonik SKS Shore rod and a Daiwa Opus E6000A Beach reel

Of course if there's a better combination around that price point I'm all ears. And I'll have to order it on the internet unless it's available in the Clare/Limerick area.
Thanks in advance,
Ciaran.
